if the proper security classifidation marking may have been inadvertently
omitted.

CRP 79-7.

may be released, it should be stamped with the reviewer's stamp (to
indicate that it has in fact been reviewed), numbered, and checked
"declassified."

indicated as "M" (a new code assigned for unmarked documents). Statis-
tical accounting for this type of review will be. noted on the stat sheet
in the "declassified" column.

1. If a document is marked "unclassified," it should be reviewed
to be sure the information is unclassified, stamped, numbered, and checked
"no change in classification."

original classification and review classification fields.

sified or if it requires.a change to "Confidential."
